Ukraine Invasion Day 591: Putin is wrong again [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-06 Yesterday, Putin said, "...if Western defense supplies are terminated tomorrow, Ukraine will have a week left to live as it runs out of ammunition." He’s wrong. Putin: Ukraine will have one week left to LIVE once Western supplies are over. LIVE as in EXIST, not defend or resist. Putin is clear about his objectives if one is willing to listen what he actually says https://t.co/0XprVgy24D You’re either helping Ukraine or helping Putin. Choose, so all the world can see your place in history. https://t.co/4EGoAd4nKM Ukrainian forces continued counteroffensive operations near Bakhmut and advanced in western Zaporizhia Oblast on October 6. Ukrainian military sources noted that Ukrainian forces continued successful offensive actions south of Bakhmut near Andriivka (8km southeast of Bakhmut).[1] Geolocated footage posted on October 5 shows that Ukrainian forces have advanced towards a tree line between Robotyne and Verbove, about 6km southeast of Robotyne.[2] Ukrainian Eastern Group of Forces Spokesperson Captain Ilya Yevlash noted that Ukrainian forces are preparing for offensive operations throughout the autumn-winter period. Yevlash emphasized that while supply requirements will increase and rainy and foggy conditions may complicate the use of drones and tactical and army aviation, Ukrainian forces will continue to fight through the winter.[3] Yevlash’s statement supports ISW’s longstanding assessment that weather will not prevent either side from conducting offensive operations throughout the winter of 2023-2024 if they are well-supplied and choose to do so, as they did in the winter of 2022, and that the pace of Ukrainian offensives will largely be metered by Western provision of appropriate small-arms and ammunition and non-lethal supplies to Ukraine - not simply winter weather conditions or any specific weapons system.[4] Putin is a tyrant terrorist with a nuclear arsenal that threatens the world if anyone gets in his way of implementing a “new world” order. He is Hitler with nukes. Appeasement will NOT work. Ukraine must hold. Must stop Putin from his next step to a larger war. #ArmUkraineNow pic.twitter.com/V5I7fnViA5 ⚡️ WAR IN #UKRAINE - OCT 6 ■ Strikes on both sides up between days, fewer engagements ■ 🇷🇺 troop losses continue to rise ■ Record APV losses within year & 7-day tank losses as well ■ Oryx: 54:25 🇷🇺/🇺🇦 added to records 📈 https://t.co/6g43fgExa0 pic.twitter.com/GtGjtfiQf2 Russian Subordinate Main Effort #1 – Luhansk Oblast (Russian objective: Capture the remainder of Luhansk Oblast and push westward into eastern Kharkiv Oblast and northern Donetsk Oblast) Russian forces conducted offensive operations along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line on October 6 and reportedly advanced.
